Brooklyn Botanic Garden

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden will complete a “Decentralizing of Living Collections Management” project to improve plant collections management. Staff will perform a complete inventory and re-tag living collections; update data in the museum’s new database; and connect the living collections system with its non-living collections system (herbarium database), plant image database, and public website. The project will give staff a baseline to care for each bed and plant; provide visitors with informative signage; and increase access and awareness of the collections. The project will expand the museum’s capacity as a research hub, and its ability to provide interpretation and education around botany, urban gardening, and botanic history.
